Atheistic question?

Question

Why is that most Atheists on here attack the credibility of the Judeo/Christian God's existence or Christianity in general but never question the other religions? There seems to be an ongoing battle between christianity and atheism on here with an occasional Islam, Hinduism mixed in. I believe its illogical to attempt to disprove any existence of a god while only attacking one religion - sure you can convince yourself that the christian god does not exist, but that still leaves the possibility of a god out there

Answer 1

I think that the reason that most atheists on here attack christianity is because they don't really have any other religion to talk about. we are subtly influenced by our day to day experiences and we come into contact with a lot more christianity than most other religions. people who bash other religions are usually the most ignorant people on here. It is fully impossible to be able to prove or disprove the existence of God. notice too, that it is also referred to as your 'faith' which is the ability to beleive in something with out needing proof. hope this helps!
ps i'm an atheist too... we are not all bad..!lol

Answer 2

In my particular case, it's for two reasons:

1) As a person living in Occident, I'm not very acquainted with the other religions.

2) No religion (or institution of any kind) has harmed the world more than Christianity. So, yes. My battle is definitely against Christianity. I'd even leave the Jewish out of the question.

Anyway, I don't claim other religions are perfect. I just don't know about them, so I cannot say anything about something I'm not familiar with.

Answer 3

Probably only because the Christians are the most vocal, and seem to have no concept of logic. Personally, I don't seek to attack anyone for their beliefs, I'd just like to understand. If anyone at any time had ever given me an answer that I could say "oh, ok, that makes sense", then I'd probably stop asking.

Answer 4

It's not a question of god(s) at all. The issue is supernatural explanations versus natural ones. It hardly matters that it's Jehovah, Zeus or a Leprechaun. They all fall to the same analysis. The Christan concept acts as the "straw man" here simply because its followers are the most vociferous.

Answer 5

This question is asked at least 3 times a day.

Given that christianity is the dominant religion in the US and on this board, it is only logical that atheists would address christianity more than other religions.

If we were debating this on the Pakistan board, they would address Islam
If we were debating this on the India board, they would address Hindi.


So get over yourself, and quit the sorry persecutation / martyrdom act.

Answer 6

It's because, by and large, the posters on this particular iteration of Yahoo are American; and by and large, America is a Christian nation. But I think if you stare a little harder, you'll find the arguments used by most atheists can be applied equally well to any of the organized religions....

Answer 7

Jews, Christians & Muslims all worship the same non-existent entity, so how do you conclude that asserting a fact, God does not exist, is only "attacking" Christians?

Answer 8

This question gets asked 9 or 10 times a day. There is a search feature for a reason.

Answer 9

Perhaps because Christianity and Atheism are the primary philosophies presented here.

Answer 10

Because they have nothing better to do with their lives. All they do is try to piss other people off. I'm not religious myself, I'm just ticked at how many "ZOMG GOD D0ESN'T XIST!!!1!!!" questions there are.

Please. Do everyone a favor. STFU!

Atheists, go to that corner and face the wall.

Christians, go to that other corner and face the wall.

Jews, other corner

Etc...
